William Saroyan

American novelist, essayist and playwright. Born to Armenian immigrants in Fresno, California. When he was three years old, his father died, and little William found himself in an orphanage. After five years his mother Takoohi managed to put the family back together. Saroyan began to publish (mainly) short stories in the 30s. He was often inspired by his childhood and reflecting the feelings of immigrants. He managed to combine allegorical intersections with a realistic view of the world into his typically unique style. In 1940 he refused to receive the Pulitzer Prize in protest against the commercialization of literature. He married twice with the same woman, an actress Carol Marcus, they had two children together, but they divorced twice, too. He lived alternately in Paris and his native Fresno, where he died at the age of 72 years, from cancer. Half of his ashes are buried in California, half in Armenia.

This new edition of America's iconic amendment reiterates the charming story of Tracy, who is since one day accompanied by a tiger.

About this edition:

"Painting is a dip into your own secret desires," says Martina.

"It's an adventure, about which you never know how it ends ." She said.

Like life, the Tracy´s, as well as ours. It's good not to walk alone. It is good to have your tiger.

Tiger, who sometimes looks like a black panther and sometimes quite different.

Savage and snuggling, free, and suffering animal.

Majestic.

Our.

It is good that we can sometimes catch a glimpse of our tiger.

Touch him and talk to him, and one day look while he leaves.

Therefore Martina´s pictures. Tracy and his tiger, and what belongs to him inseparable: people, city, coffee, love, and psychiatry.

Surface of the paper is not enough. Therefore, Martina adds a third dimension - space and also a challenge for you to add your deeply private fourth dimension.
